i am doing the exercises they suggest, and i realise there is no quick fix as such. When I had private health care with an old job, I had some sort of infra red light/heat treatment thing for another knee ailment. I guess i thought there would be more of that. Yes globalti, it sounds very much like you describe. without orthotics my knee moves inwards by a fair degree rather than over the toe. Im getting new orthotics made up as mine are getting on a bit, so hopefully this will help.
doctor said heat pad, to aid it, physio said ice?
